Critical Care Ground Transport Teams
| The Critical Care Transport Team's mission is to safely commit to the
most compassionate, professional, highest-quality mobile critical care
transport available. The team will use a foundation of education,
experience, and customer service while acting as team players, team
leaders and mentors for Harris County EMS. The Harris County EMS Critical Care Transport Team is deployed whenever a patient has care needs exceeding the current local EMS standards for Advanced Life Support ambulance providers. Harris County EMS Critical Care Teams have been meeting the care needs of critically ill or injured patients with a two-fold approach; we place critical care registered nurses on the ambulance and we provide a select group of paramedics who are educated in advanced practice modalities above that of an Advanced Life Support paramedic. |

All CCT staff members are chosen based on
experience, critical thinking skills and the ability to provide
specialized care. Harris County EMS’s registered nurses all have a
critical care background, and its CCT paramedics have had years of EMS
field experience and actively work Emergency Department along side one
of its four Emergency Department physicians. The Critical Care Team
works daily to provide patients with the high level of monitoring and
care required in these exceptional situations.
